18 Footer - JJ Giltinan Trophy - Sydney AUS - Races 6 & 7

Thursday, March 8, 2018

The World Championship of the 18-Footer Skiffs is in the decisive phase now. After the two races were yesterday, a further two races were sailed today in a nice south easterly 13 knot breeze.
The teams are now able to discard their worst result which will lead to some changes in the overall leaderboard.
However, at the top Maersk (Josh Porebski NZL) and Honda Marine (David McDiarmid NZL) will maintain their lead as they were among the leading boats again in today’s races. The first race today was won by 'Smeg', 2nd was ‘Seatec’, 3rd ‘Maersk’ and 4th ‘Honda Marine’. The second race was still in progress at the editorial deadline. Results and reports are expected to be available this morning on the event website. The video replay of the day.
Thereport from yesterday.
